Short cinema – Two Riversides submissions

28|02|2013

Show yourself in Kazimierz Dolny and Janowiec nad Wisłą. The organisers of the Two Riversides Film and Art Festival are waiting for your films until the 27th of July 2013.

Once again amateurs and students will compete with professionals and film school graduates. Films which enter the ISFC are feature films, documentaries, animations ad experimental films that last up to 60 minutes and were produced in 2012 or 2013. Older films can (only conditionally) be admitted if their screening during the Festival will be their first presentation in Poland.

The main prize of the ISFC is 3000 PLN. There are also two additional prizes: directors will get 1000 PLN each. Taking part in the Short Films Competition not only gives the opportunity to be shown on the big screen but also to confront one’s ideas with the most difficult and demanding jury: the audience. Other shorts will be shown in the “In the Short Run” and “World under Canvas” sections: they will be screened before the feature length films. We are calling for this short time before the show to be returned to the Young. You’ll find the rules of the contest and the entry form at http://www.dwabrzegi.pl/nkfk/?lang=en. Come to Kazimierz Dolny and Janowiec nad Wisłą between the 27th of July and the 4th of August.

Mysterious Kazimierz, gnomes and many thanks – joyful and jazzy closing of the festival.

Kazimierz Dolny, the PGE Cinema, 4.30 pm. Grazyna Torbicka, the Artistic Director of the Festival enters the stage smiling. “Behind us there are eight festival days filled with films, music, art and meetings with the artists”, she says. The audience applauds loudly. “Our thanks go to the audience – all this has been for you”. Indeed, for the several days of the festival Kazimierz has been under siege of the faithful attendees. Everywhere there have been crowds with distinctive red or blue programme booklets in their hands. “We have met for the sixth time because we have faithful friends. Owing to them we are able to seek rare things, good films.”, says the Artistic Director.
